Default Tips and tricks to install factory 968 Splitter?

I just got a splitter from Carnewal, with the euro being 1:1 to the dollar, I thought now would be the best time to get one. Shipped Friday and got it today! Fast!

Anyways, should I just remove my batwing, line up the holes and drill away?

What have others done in the past?

Also is this really a factory splitter? It is polyurethane, has some material/marker stamps and the part number is partially there with the rest scraped off, so makes me think it was done off a copied mold.

Does not really matter, just curious.

360 euro plus 60 euro shipping and handling.

Basically the cheapest it has been in 10 years when you look at the rate and count inflation. I think it was 360 euros over 6 years ago still.

8 Years ago the euro was 1.6 to 1!

Yes with my factory splitter I removed all my tin clips on the bumper cover then simply held up the splitter with 3 jack stands and cardboard shims to put pressure up to simulate the exact location then got under car with a tiny screwdriver and scribed a nice mark through each hole to show where to drill. Then you still the splitter with a 1/4" bit and sandwich splitter in between the batwing/under spoiler and use longer screws to squeeze it all up to bumper cover. The maritime blue splitter makes the car just look faster....

Yes I've seen the parts getting posted. I may still end up ordering from Carnewal.

Default 968 front splitter installed / David Pagan Promotion dp951

Pretty Easy install ( no special tools ) done quite a few , I started making my own design for my wide body cars ( still tweaking the design ) .
2 jack stands placed on frame rails or A arms area so you have access to the belly pan area , I prefer to use larger washers for more support on my installs. Promotion dp 951

Just got it back from the paint shop

If I do it this weekend, will post pictures. I am going to remove the whole bumper anyways to address some other issues. Hopefully no seized bolts.

I would love to get one! As was said, "makes the car look faster..."
However, i would be worried about real word obstacles, steep inclines, speed bumps, parking curbs, paper litter...

That's why I got the factory one, as it is flexible, vs fiber glass after market.

Also this is a summer weekend driver now days, will hopefully be able to avoid the tight situations.

At this point its been sitting in a box way to long, time to throw this sucker on!

I had an original HDPE factory one. Didn’t survive “selling” it to my friend. Gone when I got it back. I bought a FRP one from DR-1, it’s significantly more robust. You just have to pay attention. It rubs a little bit at times, but it’s easily repaired with a bit of touch up paint. (I left mine black for that reason)
